WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.000 I've often joked that the most liberal publication in the 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.960 United States of America is not, you know, the New 3 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.759 York Times, not the Washington Post. It's actually the New 4 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:16.079 England Journal of Medicine. And it's symptomatic. And indeed that 5 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.320 is true my whole life growing up, both my parents 6 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.719 being doctors, we always there was always a copy of 7 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.440 New England Journal of Medicine hanging around the house. And 8 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.839 my mom still gets it and reviews it very thoroughly, 9 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.640 and you know, it is important for them to kind 10 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.560 of keep up with what was going on in trends 11 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.320 in medicine and scholarship and things like that, and it's 12 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.200 one of the most important medical journals in the country. 13 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.719 But boy howdy, any time the New England Journal of 14 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:52.159 Medicine straight into anything that had anything to do with 15 00:00:52.520 --> 00:01:00.159 questions of social or cultural import they would always reliably 16 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.880 come out on the most left wing side of the 17 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.239 issue possible, or even if they didn't necessarily like I 18 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.120 don't think the New England Journal of Medicine was like 19 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.359 totally like pro physician assisted suicide, for example, but they 20 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:23.879 certainly would publish op eds from people who were Now 21 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:31.879 this is symptomatic of a really bad, larger problem within 22 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.280 the practice of medicine, which is the complete capture of 23 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.439 medical academia by the left. In spite of the fact 24 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:48.519 that I don't know that actual doctors, actual healthcare practitioners, 25 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:54.000 are actually that much more liberal, that much more socially liberal. 26 00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.760 Than your average profession is. You know, I don't know. 27 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.439 I think if you pulled doctors, I don't know that 28 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.799 they would be that much more inclined to vote for 29 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.599 Democrats rather than Republicans than maybe even the general population. 30 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.400 In spite of the fact that I don't know that 31 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.919 doctors in general are that left leaning. Certainly, all of 32 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.719 the major professional association or many of the major professional 33 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.039 associations of doctors are extremely left wing. 34 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:30.400 A COG. 35 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.520 For example, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is 36 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.039 super duper left wing and super duper pro abortion and 37 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.840 all kind all kinds of bad things. So I stumbled 38 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:59.479 across this a new lexicon for talking about and speaking about. 39 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.280 First trimester pregnancy. 40 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:08.919 And this was published by the Society for Radiologists in Ultrasound, 41 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:16.479 and it was pushed out by the Journal of Radiologists 42 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:24.000 called Radiology. It was indorsed. This lexicon was endorsed by 43 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:34.039 a large number of other professional associations including I believe ACOG. 44 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.599 Was also supportive of this, including ACOG. 45 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.759 And what this is is basically, it's guidelines for radiologists 46 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.840 and scenographers. 47 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.080 About how to talk about. 48 00:03:51.919 --> 00:04:00.560 Various kinds of issues within first trimester pregnancy. And obviously 49 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.319 this is an effort. If this is something that's endorsed 50 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.240 by a COG, this is going to be something that's 51 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.400 going to impact impact not just how sonographers talk, how 52 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:16.240 radiologists talk, but probably how obstetricians talkcology, how obstetricians talk. 53 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:24.160 This is going to impact the provision of early pregnancy care. 54 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.839 The piece was published in the journal so that this 55 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.120 new lexicon, basically new terminology that's going to be used 56 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:44.279 surrounding first trimester pregnancy was published in the journal Radiology. 57 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:49.759 Here are the highlights slash low lights of what this 58 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.959 is doing, and you'll see how this is impacting the 59 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.879 abortion debates, but also how cultural liberalism is impacting what 60 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.680 we have consistently thought of as the sort of a 61 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:12.000 political value neutral field of medicine. How medicine is being 62 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.160 and we've we've got a glimpse of this during COVID, 63 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:24.319 the way that scientific research and medicine was being so 64 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:32.560 heavily politicized in the service of really day to day 65 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:41.639 humdrum political arguments. Like I remembered this with regards to vaccines. Okay, 66 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.439 all of a sudden, we learned that the COVID vaccine, 67 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000 after the initial you know, the initial pledges were, oh, 68 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.519 it's ninety nine percent effective at preventing transmission, then we realize, actually, 69 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.680 the COVID vaccine does very little to prevent the transmission 70 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:58.120 of COVID. 71 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.560 That really, all that it does is. 72 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.519 It seems to prevent you from getting like the real 73 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.480 kind of extreme and bad outcomes from COVID. But you know, 74 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.920 people have had six COVID shots, have gotten COVID four times. 75 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.560 It doesn't really do much to prevent you from getting COVID. 76 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.160 It just prevents it from being you know, incredibly aggressive 77 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.759 and life threatening. So one of the things we then 78 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:38.319 saw were different kinds of dictionaries online resources that redefined, 79 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:45.279 all of a sudden, the word vaccine to means, to 80 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:50.040 change the word from a kind of intervention designed to 81 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:57.680 inoculate to something more like a kind of intervention to 82 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:05.079 reduce the severity of a disease. And there were real serious, 83 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.040 reputable dictionaries that were changing the definition of words, and 84 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:15.360 not just any words, but scientific and medical words, changing 85 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.920 their definitions at the service of a day to day, 86 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:28.680 humdrum political dispute, which I think demonstrated to so many 87 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.879 people that the practice of medicine is in various respects 88 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.800 or in various quarters, or certainly at the level of 89 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.040 the kinds of things that the federal government was funding 90 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.759 for research purposes under Anthony Fauci, under Francis Collins, that 91 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.800 this wasn't a value neutral pursuit of truth, a value 92 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:54.240 neutral desire to heal, but that there were political things 93 00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:01.360 getting mixed in with all this. A similar thing is 94 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:12.079 happening right now with radiology, sonographers, ultrascenographers, and with obstetricians 95 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:19.199 and gynecologists with how they talk about the embryo. I 96 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.879 want to dig into this later on Right to Life Radio, 97 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.439 but I just saw this and I think it's fascinatingly terrifying. 98 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.160 Here are some of the key results of this new 99 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.559 lexicon that these professional associations of radiologists are trying to 100 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:43.440 promote for healthcare practitioners. Looking at first trimester pregnancy first, 101 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:54.840 getting rid of any indication that there is heartbeat early 102 00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:03.279 on in pregnancy within the first trimester. Cardiac activity is 103 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:09.399 now the new word to replace words like heartbeat or 104 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:21.039 heart motion. Why why is this happening? Well, basically, it 105 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:28.480 appears to be quite plain that these societies of professional radiologists, 106 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.440 in spite of talking about fetal or you know, fetal 107 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:38.000 heartbeat as starting at six weeks, everyone talked about heartbeat 108 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.919 and that heartbeat happens about six weeks into pregnancy from 109 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.559 the last menstrual period. At about the six week point 110 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.679 in pregnancy, you can detect fetal heartbeat. Well, what happened? 111 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:57.600 A bunch of states Florida, Georgia several others passed state 112 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:03.200 laws to outlaw abortion once fetal heartbeat can be detected. 113 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.120 Pro lifers were saying that you can detect a heartbeat 114 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:13.120 at six weeks. The mealy mouthed response from the left 115 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.840 that this idea only emerges. 116 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.600 After this political controversy arises to. 117 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.120 Say, well, it's not really a heartbeat because the four 118 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.120 chambers of the heart aren't completely formed. It's more like 119 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:40.919 cardiac activity. We were calling this heartbeat for forever, but 120 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.679 now all of a sudden because there is a successful 121 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.720 political effort on the pro life side to say, look, 122 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.799 one of the things that we always think of as 123 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.039 characteristic of human life is a heartbeat. If your heart 124 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.600 stops beating, your dead now, I would say a human 125 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.120 organism pre development of any cardiac activity, I would say, 126 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:07.960 is also a living human organism. 127 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:13.320 Still, but basically, what these pro life states said was, look, 128 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.000 if there's a detectable heartbeat. 129 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.879 We're not doing any abortions. 130 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:28.519 These professional societies of radiologists, along with ACAG want to 131 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.159 eliminate any mention that. They don't want to say the 132 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:38.919 word heartbeat. Why because they're so left wing that and 133 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.799 so insistent on legal abortion that they basically are just 134 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.480 trying to change the whole terminology, the whole lingo utilized 135 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.200 in the practice of medicine, just to undercut a couple 136 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.200 of state laws that have been passed Florida, Georgia and 137 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.559 a few others. 138 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.639 This is insane. 139 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:14.399 It's cardiac muscles rhythmically moving. We've called that heartbeat for 140 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:20.840 it's cardiac tissue rhythmically moving, beginning the process of pumping blood, 141 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.000 pumping blood, nutrients, oxygen, et cetera. Through the organism that's 142 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.399 called heartbeat. We've called that heartbeat for forever. Ultrascenographers from 143 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.879 Sea to Shining Sea. They get a pregnant lady in there, 144 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.080 they do an initial ultrasound. 145 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.799 Oh, we can detect heart beat. It's c really enough, 146 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.919 we can detect heart beat. Oh no, do you do? 147 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.399 You then have like mister Well, actually pop. 148 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.000 Into the into the room where the where the lady's 149 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.240 getting her ultrasound. Her husband's there, he's got the jelly 150 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.480 stuff on her belly doing the ultrasound. 151 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.159 Oh, there's fetal heartbeat. 152 00:12:55.559 --> 00:13:00.159 Actually it's not the four chambers, the four ventricles the 153 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.759 heart have not completely developed. 154 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:02.559 This is more. 155 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:11.679 Cardiac rhythmic activity, not heartbeat. They're going to change the 156 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:17.519 whole lingo here purely because Republicans were able to pass 157 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:26.120 a couple of bills in like four states. This is insane. 158 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.080 When we return, there's more. 159 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.399 We're not going to. 160 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.919 Refer to first trimester, first trimester embryos or fetuses. We're 161 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:38.039 not going to refer to first trimester embryos as living. 162 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.960 We'll dig into that next on the John Girardi Show. 163 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.879 Medical associations, which are completely dominated by the left, are 164 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.480 trying to change the language. You change the language, you 165 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:57.639 change what people believe surrounding first trimester pregnancies. Is a 166 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.519 new piece, a lexicon of terminology that was published in 167 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:08.799 the journal Radiology and is supported by a cog about 168 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:14.279 how to talk about first trimester pregnancy. First, we're gonna 169 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.919 this new way of talking about first trimester pregnancy includes 170 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:27.399 not referring to any kind of cardiac activity as heartbeat. 171 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.440 Why not because it's not true, Not because it's not accurate. 172 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.320 It's cardiac muscle, it's beating heartbeat, Not because it's not true, 173 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.200 but basically because Republicans in pro life states have passed 174 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.559 state laws to limit abortion after field heartbeat can be detected. 175 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.639 Here's other stuff that these professional associations are trying to change, 176 00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:01.399 as far as our language not refra ring to the 177 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:13.279 embryo in the first trimester as a live, living, well, 178 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.440 let's stop there. Not wanting to refer to the embryo 179 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:30.600 as a live or living now this is even more insane. 180 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.480 Here's what they have to say. The terms live, living, 181 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:40.159 and viable have been used frequently to refer to any 182 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:46.879 pregnancy with cardiac activity. We recommend against the use of 183 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.000 all these terms in the first trimester. Live and living 184 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.480 are best avoided because these terms may be appropriated by 185 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.440 people outside of the field of medicine to support political 186 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:04.360 rhetoric and pros descriptive legislation. In addition, these terms may 187 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:14.879 raise unrealistic expectations for patients facing potential pregnancy loss or EPs. Okay, 188 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:19.320 let let's let's go here. They don't want to refer 189 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.360 to a human organism in the first trimester as living 190 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:30.000 because pro lifers might then want to protect that human organism. 191 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.879 It's not because it is inaccurate. Clearly, the embryo in 192 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.559 the womb is alive. And by the way, don't don't 193 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:46.840 start with any okay, the definition of biological life. Okay, 194 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:52.480 that applies to things like amiebas and single celled organisms. 195 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.279 All right, the human organism from the minute you have 196 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.039 egg sperm fusion, the egg and the sperm meat and 197 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.360 form a new cell called a zygote, that is the 198 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.759 first cell of you. That is when your life as 199 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:15.319 a distinct individual human organism with your DNA, your composition 200 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.920 of chromosomes. That is when your life as a new, 201 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.759 unique organism begins. If you want to make arguments about 202 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.160 all your life is only valuable after heartbeat, or only 203 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.079 valuable after brain active brain activity can be detected, or 204 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.839 only valuable after you're born, or Okay, whatever your biological 205 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.000 life began there that is not in dispute. That is 206 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.240 biological fact. You can look it up in a biology textbook. 207 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.759 That is, when your life as a single individual organism begins. 208 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:52.240 The unborn, the the embryo, which is the early development 209 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.119 human for the first six weeks of pregnancy. The fetus, 210 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.759 which is six weeks of pregnancy onward during pregnancy is living. 211 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:08.519 It is a living biological organism, unquestionably, undeniably. That is 212 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:15.880 true every bit as much as a single cell organism 213 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.000 is a living organism and amiba is a living organism, 214 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.440 a mushroom is a living organism, a plant is a 215 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.440 living organism. 216 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.279 A squirrel is a living organism. 217 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.119 So is. 218 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:33.279 An embryo or a fetus. It is clearly living. These 219 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.400 professional associations of. 220 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:43.039 A COG, the American College of Obstricians Gynecologists sonographers, are 221 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.640 trying to push the idea that doctors should not call 222 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:56.000 the first trimester unborn human living. Why because pro lifers 223 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:01.880 might use that to push pro life legislation. 224 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.640 This is insane. Let me let me give you. Let 225 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.000 me tell you a couple of treat things. As they 226 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:11.960 said on the Sopranos. 227 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:21.640 If you don't tell a woman that her embryo is 228 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:27.119 living before she has an abortion, I think that is 229 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:34.440 definitionally not informed consent. Of course, by the way, for 230 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:36.680 a woman who wants to keep the baby, what are 231 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:43.960 you gonna say to her? Clearly, for an embryo or 232 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:49.880 or a fetus who's beyond the point where cardiac activity, 233 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:55.279 heartbeat has begun, the absence of heartbeat is the single 234 00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:00.640 biggest indicator that a miscarriage has happened. How are you 235 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.200 going to talk about this? If you can't use the 236 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.759 terminology of alive or not alive, it's not going to 237 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:14.119 make sense. Well, you've experienced pregnancy, lass so the baby's dead. 238 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.720 Well it was never a live per se. What are 239 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:24.640 you talking about that? That's not reality Biologically, this is 240 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.880 a living organism. You're just gonna say it's not alive. 241 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:34.160 And they're explicit about it. They're explicitly saying in this piece, 242 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.119 I just read it to you for obatim. They don't 243 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.480 want to call it alive. Terms like live and living 244 00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:42.559 are best avoided because these terms may be appropriated by 245 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.000 people outside of the field of medicine. 246 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.759 Ding Ding ding Ding, like John. 247 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:55.319 Girardi to support political rhetoric and prescriptive legislation. I mean, 248 00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:00.799 that's they're totally explicit about it. They are totally explicit 249 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:05.640 about the idea that pro life people calling on born 250 00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:10.400 children alive is bad because it might lead people to 251 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.400 conclude that these gosh darn embryos are like valuable or something. 252 00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:21.079 So for that reason, we're gonna we're gonna call black white, 253 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.079 We're gonna call a living organ We're not gonna admit 254 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:33.279 that this living organism is living. I mean, it's unbelievable. 255 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.799 They're also getting rid of the term viability, which frankly 256 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:44.039 I am I am wondering why that is happening. I 257 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.759 think it's in part to get them to a point 258 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:48.839 where they can do later in later term abortions. There 259 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.359 are some restrictions on abortion's post viability, some restrictions not 260 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.799 very strong, ones that exist in fact entirely flimsy ones 261 00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:58.839 that exist in California. I think they want to get 262 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:03.039 rid of that distinction completely. But this is this is 263 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.880 what we are up against, the left wing control of 264 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:13.640 so many professions, which came about because of the left 265 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.559 wing domination of academia. And you know what, the last 266 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:21.519 thing I'll conclude here with this piece, it just erases 267 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.200 the existence of pro life doctors. You know how many 268 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.279 doctors out there don't like abortion, don't want to do abortions, 269 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.519 think abortion is morally wrong. There are millions of them. 270 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.000 As I said, I don't know that doctors are that 271 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:43.599 much more liberal than many other professions in society. There 272 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.359 are certainly millions of doctors, healthcare practitioners throughout the country 273 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.279 who don't like abortion at all. And just to act 274 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:54.079 as though there's no debate here, that the op for 275 00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.200 a professional association of physicians to act as though the 276 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.599 abortion question is a completely set debate for one side. 277 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.640 Is complete. It's nonsense. 278 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.720 It's just erasing millions of healthcare practitioners who don't want 279 00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:10.200 to do this. 280 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.000 You can read about it. 281 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.160 I've tweeted about it at my Twitter account Twitter dot 282 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.839 com slash presdo Johnny at Fresno Johnny when we return 283 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.200 giving people one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for home 284 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.880 buying assistance and opening this up to illegal aliens. 285 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.400 That is next on the John Girardi Show. 286 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.200 I'm not exactly sure what the liberal position is on 287 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.640 illegal immigration at this point. Kamala Harris seems to be 288 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.839 tacking hard to the right, and she seems to be 289 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:49.240 following the polling. The polling which indicates that Americans were 290 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.559 highly dissatisfied with President Biden's performance on immigration, that they 291 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:58.759 want more restrictive immigration measures, that there's more American support 292 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:00.240 for deportation. 293 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:02.400 Measures than there ever have been. 294 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.000 And all of a sudden, Kamala Hayres is coming out, 295 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:12.079 Oh she's immigration crackdown cowgirl. That you know that the 296 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.559 first three years of the Biden administration letting in millions 297 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.839 of undocumented people with almost no vetting oopsies, and the 298 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.519 relatively more stable last six months after Biden issued an 299 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.720 executive order that he could have issued on day one, 300 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:30.880 or he could have just maintained the Trump policies which 301 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:35.519 were keeping illegal immigration at fairly low levels. That that 302 00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:40.119 is that, Oh, yes, you should thank us for getting 303 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.880 immigration under control after we made immigration get out of control. 304 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.400 I heard someone that's the kind of thing I heard 305 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:52.960 someone criticize Kennedy for that John Kennedy gets a lot 306 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.359 of credit for getting America out of the Bay of 307 00:24:55.400 --> 00:25:00.240 Pigs disaster and not a lot of blame for getting 308 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.119 us into the Bay of Piggs disaster. It seems it 309 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.599 seems like it's kind of this weird thing where it's like, Oh, 310 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.519 we give you credit for getting us out of this 311 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:15.839 mess you created. So I'm really kind of not sure 312 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:20.240 what exactly the Democrat position is on immigration. The Democrat 313 00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:25.440 position on immigration, like as recently as like two years ago, 314 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.839 was basically to try to give this impression that there 315 00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:36.960 there's essentially nothing wrong with it and that any Republicans 316 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:42.079 screaming about it were just racists. And maybe the California 317 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.960 Democratic Party hasn't caught on yet. 318 00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.480 And by the way, I don't think you need to be. 319 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:53.440 Like a huge protectionist some kind of. 320 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.319 You know. 321 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.000 I think there's a lot of space for a more 322 00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:01.720 reasonable middle policy of we need to have a much 323 00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:05.160 more secure border and rigorous standards, and maybe we can 324 00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:10.640 find more reasonable ways for regulating immigration. But America already 325 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.039 allows a ton of legal immigration. The idea that America 326 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.640 isn't already incredibly generous with its legal immigration policies I 327 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:27.000 think is ridiculous. Now there's a piece in GV wire 328 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.920 reporting on a state, a piece of state legislation here 329 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.480 in California, where I think California Democrats haven't caught up 330 00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:43.799 with Kamala Harris's sort of newfound border crackdownism to such 331 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.319 an extent that I even saw some story that Harris 332 00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.839 softly supporting building fencing. 333 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.119 Or wall, building the border wall, or something like that. 334 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:57.839 Anyway, So here's a story in California, though, where California's 335 00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.079 legislature seems to continue with the mindset of there is 336 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.759 literally nothing wrong with illegal immigration. There's literally no and 337 00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:09.640 almost to the point of saying, there is no way, 338 00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:12.200 shape or form that we in California are going to 339 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.079 do anything to penalize anyone who is here unlawfully. 340 00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.519 You can get medical, you can get this, you can 341 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:18.920 get that. 342 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.240 We're not going to have ICE cooperate, We're not going 343 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.799 to have state officials cooperate with ICE, et cetera, et cetera. 344 00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:30.480 Here's a story about a bill that the California State 345 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:37.880 Senate voted for on Tuesday to allow illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants, 346 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:39.279 whatever you want to call it. People who are not 347 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:44.200 in the country legally eligible for up to one hundred 348 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:49.720 and fifty thousand in down payment aid to buy a home. 349 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.039 And I want to get into this because I think 350 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.920 it's so it's kind of a ridiculous story from a 351 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.880 number of ankles. A bill from a SEMIBLY member Joaquin 352 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.359 Arambula Fresno Zone would expand California's down payment and assistance 353 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.640 program for first time home buyers, regardless of immigration status. 354 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.240 At least one lawmaker says it takes opportunities away from 355 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.960 a high demand program. Well, it clearly does, which you'll 356 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.279 figure that out as you read the story. Assembly Bill 357 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.200 eighteen forty past the California Senate on Tuesday, providing up 358 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.440 to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in closing cost 359 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.839 and down payment assistance to first time home buyers. Arambula, 360 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.160 in a statement, said that home ownership creates financial stability. 361 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.039 The social and economic benefits of home ownership should be 362 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.799 available to everyone. Arambula said, as such, the California Dream 363 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:52.039 for All program should be available to all again for 364 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:57.640 people who are living in the state illegally. That would 365 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.720 seem to me to be precisely the kind of people 366 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.839 for whom. 367 00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.559 Buying a house. 368 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:12.680 Setting up a permanent domicile that you live in seems 369 00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.359 to me like a bad idea. And frankly, it seems 370 00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:21.720 to me, I guess I'd be amazed if I were 371 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.440 a bank, you know, would I want to give a 372 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:30.480 mortgage to someone who's living here illegally, who legally speaking, 373 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.759 could be deported at you know, at the snap of 374 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:43.359 a finger, at the change of a presidential administration. Arambula's 375 00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.920 office declined an interview with GV Wire. However, State Senator 376 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.799 Janet Wynn, a Republican from Huntington Beach, said in a 377 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.680 post on x that making undocumented immigrants eligible for home 378 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.119 buyer assistants takes away from others seeking to benefit from 379 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.359 the program. Well, no kidding, she says, quote, I spoke 380 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.680 out today on this Senate floor against eighteen forty assistance 381 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.920 for first time home buyers. Veterans are beneficiaries of this program, 382 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.039 and it will be rating their fund and win said 383 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.640 in the post, I will always look out for our 384 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:15.119 veterans in military. Now here's the thing, and I'm a 385 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:20.440 little unclear. I mean, yes, some veterans might happen to 386 00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.039 be part of this program. I'm not sure that it 387 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.240 was a program exclusively for them. But here's the ridiculous 388 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:31.680 thing about this, all right, So this program existed last year, 389 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.599 this program for California state funded assistance for first time 390 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.559 home buyers up to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 391 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.880 in assistance with your down payment and your closing costs. 392 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:50.960 That's a crapload of money. So this program existed in 393 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:54.160 twenty twenty three. This bill from Joaquin Arambula would add 394 00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:58.839 undocumented immigrants, illegal aliens, people who are not legally supposed 395 00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:01.599 to be here to the pool of people who'd be 396 00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.720 eligible to get this one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 397 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:12.400 But the thing is, there are already too many people 398 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.440 applying for too few you know, allocations of money within 399 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:22.720 this program. The fund was completely exhausted last year in 400 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.079 twenty twenty three. The story continues. In twenty twenty three, 401 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.440
